We'll never reimplement Argument Clinic in C. I could list many reasons for this. Suffice to say, I'm not doing it, and I doubt anyone else would ever step up to the plate and try it. And, "form follows function". It's a bad idea to limit Argument Clinic's features today based on what might be inconvenient someday in some hypothetical rewrite in C. Argument Clinic should be maximally useful, right now. //arry/
